Göbekli Tepe laid undiscovered for tens of thousands of years until it was discovered in a little known part of modern Turkey. But who built it, and why?
), then Stonehenge is closer to us in time than Gobekli Tepe would have been to the people who built Stonehenge!
Since there are no apparent signs of domestication of crops or animals at or near the site, the team has suggested that those who built it had not yet made this transition. The clues from Gobekli Tepe show that ancient people used grains much earlier than was thought, even before there was evidence that these plants were domesticated.
The researchers found that although there are no human graves on the site , pieces of human bones have been found in the fill of buildings and the areas around them. The researchers examined these piles and found a series of partly preserved human skulls. One particular case shows a headless individual in the bottom right of the pillar appears to show what has been interpreted as a "gift-bearer" carrying a disembodied head. Yet another appears to indicate a human statue that has, at some point, been intentionally decapitated .
Later studies have shown Karahan Tepe resembles the "Gobekli Tepe II" layer. For example, both sites have 266 pillars with T-shaped architectural elements and animal reliefs showing snakes, insects, birds, the head and forelegs of a rabbit, the hind legs and tail of a gazelle, and the hind legs of an unidentified animal.

This resulted in glaciers advancing, giving most of the temperate Northern Hemisphere a drier and harsher climate.. Whatever the cause, it would have an enormous impact on the lives of anyone living at the time, especially in Europe and the Levant.
It is described in the Book of Genesis as located at the source of four tributaries — Tigris, Euphrates, Gihon, and Pishon. The Qur'an also mentions Eden and Islamic scholars have also long-debated its location. Interpretations of the location of the garden include that the garden was Paradise itself; that it was a separate place created especially for Adam and Eve; and that it was located on Earth.
